Torque Divider
  • A single stage torque converter with output torque divider
  • 70% of engine torque through the converter, 30% through a direct drive shaft
  • Torque divider shields the driveline from sudden torque shocks and vibration
Final Drives
  • Crown shaved, two-stage planetary, in-line final drive gears
  • Splash lubricated and sealed with Du-Cone floating ring seals
  • Sprockets have five bolt-on, replaceable rim segments


Steering

Multiple disc clutches and brakes meet SAEJ1026 at APR90

  • Hydraulically released, spring applied and separated
  • Cooled by pressurized oil
  • No adjustment require
  • Each assembly serviceable as a unit
  • Clutch hand controls
  • Two brake foot pedals
  • Mechanically actuated, spring applied parking brake


Counterweights

Full hydraulic, single lever control
13 segments, 2@300 kg (662 lb), 6@535 kg (1180 lb) 5@430 kg (948 lb) 5,960 kg 13,144 lb
Total weight extendable 9,036 kg 19,920 lb

Full hydraulic, single lever control. Horizontal pivot point design provides good side and ground clearance.

Undercarriage

Tubular design resists torisional loads.

  • Lifetime lubricated rollers and idlers are directly mounted to roller frame
  • Roller frames attach to tractor by pivot shaft and pinned front bar

* Power rating conditions

  • Based on standard air conditions of 25C (77F) and 99 kPa(29.32 in ) Hg dry barometer
  • Used 35 degree API gravity fuel having an LHV of 42,780 kJ/kg (18,390 Btu/lb) when used at 30C(86F) [ref. a fuel density of 838.9 g/L (7.001 lb/galUS)]
  • Net power advertised is the power available at the flywheel when the engine is equipped with fan, air cleaner, muffler, and alternator
  • No derating required up to 2286 m (7500 ft) altitude

Features

  • Direct injection fuel system with individual adjustment-free unit injectors
  • Cam ground and tapered, aluminum alloy pistons with three keystone designed rings, each cooled by oil spray
